Qin Shi Huangdi was the ruler of the Kingdom of Qin (from 245 BC), ending the two-hundred-year era of the Warring Kingdoms. By 221 BC, he reigned over a unified power over all of Inner China and went down in history as the creator and ruler of the first centralized Chinese state. The Qin dynasty he founded, which he intended to rule China for 10,000 generations, only outlived the emperor by a few years.

    It’s interesting that you show a video from Japan in the video. Perhaps you associate this with the fact that the ancestors of modern Japanese lived on the Huang He. According to several versions, the inhabitants of China either resettled themselves or arrived in Japan on ships that Qin Shihuang equipped to search for the island of Penglai.
